Abstract:
A device for detecting an angular position of a steering shaft (8), in particular for a steering unit of a boat drive (4, 5), using an angular sensor (13). The steering shaft (8) and the angular sensor (13) are kinematically interconnected, via a play-reducing intermediate gear (11, 16), which engages with a master gear (10) of the steering shaft (8) and a slave gear (12) of the angular sensor (13) to facilitate precise detection of angular rotation of the steering shaft (8).
